Climate change
associated factors including temperature increases, changes in rain fall
pattern and occurrence of pest and diseases negatively influence agricultural
production, productivity and quality. Climate change effects particularly in
region suffer persistent soil and water resource scarcity significantly
increases production risk. The effects of climate change on agriculture may
depend not only on changing climate condition, but also on the ability to adapt
through changes in technology and demand for food. Biotechnology positively
reduced the effects of climate change by using modern biotechnology. Modern
biotechnology through the use of genetically modified stress tolerant and high
yielding transgenic crops also stand to significantly counteract the negative
effects of climate change. Convectional biotechnology such as bio fertilizer
and energy efficient farming are among reasonable options that could solve
problems of climate change.  Also this
paper deals with the modern technology like omics, system biology and other
technology has discussed to combat aboitc stress of plant. Finally, the paper highlighted
the current challenges and future perspective of biotechnology for climate
change adaptation and mitigation.
